VAVlab (Volumetric Analysis & Visualization Group), founded in 2003, is a member of the Bogazici
University, EE Dept., Signal Processing Center (BUSIM) and Bogazici University, Center for Life Sciences,
Information Technologies in Medicine workgroup. The multi-disciplinary group conducts research on
medical imaging and informatics, within the broad area of ICT (Information & Communication
Technologies) for medicine and healthcare. We collaborate with national and international research groups /
labs from fields such as Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Informatics. The collaborating
institutions include Istanbul University Medical School (TR), Yeditepe University Hospital (TR), Koc
University (TR), Stanford University (USA), Munich Technical University (DE) and DKFZ - Medical and
Biological Informatics Dept. (DE). Specific research topics of interest are
* Multi-Dimensional Image Processing: Enhancement, Regularization, Segmentation, Registration
* Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition in medicine / healthcare:
o Content analysis, search and retrieval in medical databases
o Computer aided diagnosis, decision support, annotation, reporting
o Semantic representations and analysis
* Brain Research:
o Diffusion MRI
o Structural and functional network analysis
* Simulations and virtual environments:
o Virtual examinations (such as virtual colonography)
o Medical imaging simulations for training
o Human computer interfaces
VAVlab projects have been funded by TUBITAK, TUBA, BAP, EU and industrial partners. The primary
working environment is VAVframe, a C++ environment encompassing common open source libraries,
including VTK, ITK, Qt, etc. as well as novel research output. Please visit VAVweb for further information
about past and current research, open and upcoming positions.
